Plant diversity is not a consistent predictor of soil extracellular enzyme activity in field or experimental grasslands

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Soil extracellular enzymes are produced and excreted by soil microbial organisms. They catalyze many of the biochemical reactions that support crucial ecosystem functions like decomposition, organic matter mineralization, nutrient cycling, and C sequestration.

Oak heterogeneity shaping arthropod diversity and ecological dynamics in Boumezrane forest (Souk Ahras, Algeria) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics
The Boumezrane Forest in northeastern Algeria is a biodiversity hotspot characterized by a mosaic of oak species and varied habitats. This study examines how habitat heterogeneity influences arthropod diversity across five forest habitats: Cork Oak, Zeen

Advances in Wine Yeast Autolysis: Biochemical and Molecular Mechanisms, and the Release of Organic Compounds in White and Sparkling Wines—An Updated Review

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Wine yeasts play a central role in alcoholic fermentation and significantly contribute to the sensory attributes of wines through cellular autolysis during lees aging (sur lie), especially in white wines. This process releases organic compounds that alter the wine's chemical and sensory profile.

Wild bee diversity and land use: A case study in a mountain agroecosystem of the Serranía de Ronda, southern Spain

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 647-659, May 2026.
Orchards supported the highest wild bee diversity and functional diversity, highlighting their role in maintaining bee communities in Mediterranean agroecosystems. Landscape heterogeneity positively influenced functional evenness and dispersion of wild bee communities, underscoring the importance of diverse landscapes for bee conservation. The presence

Neofusicoccum and Phytophthora Species: An Emerging Threat to Fig Trees (Ficus carica) in Italy, With the Description of Phytophthora messapica sp. nov.

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
The work helped clarify the complex aetiology of common fig decline in Italy as the result of a simultaneous attack by canopy pathogens (Ascomycetes, family Botryosphaeriaceae) and root pathogens (oomycetes of the genus Phytophthora) and led to the discovery of several new host–pathogen associations and a new Phytophthora species.

Restoration tools and strategies for afforested Mediterranean coastal grasslands: is eucalypt removal alone enough to kickstart ecosystem recovery?

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation with non‐native trees has profoundly altered coastal dune grasslands worldwide, creating persistent ecological legacies that constrain ecosystem recovery. Objectives We evaluated the cost‐effectiveness of two restoration approaches, distinguished by their respective demands for resource investment: Moderately ...
